At one point, newborn Sam was given a 5 percent chance to live. A difficult delivery and liver laceration led Sam to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, where he underwent 11 operations over several months in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Thanks to lifesaving care he received from the team at Children’s — and boundless love and support from his family — Sam’s at home where he belongs. Watch Sam’s story to learn what makes him so special.

Louie's Last Regatta is an open-to-all, year-end, fun-oriented annual sailing regatta on Lake Michigan in which all proceeds benefit Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Founded in 1999 by a group of Milwaukee sailors, Louie's Last Regatta has grown into one of the nation's largest fundraising regattas.
